Little Theatre of Epidaurus, Ancient Greek theatre near the port in Archaea Epidavros, Greece

The Little Theatre of Epidaurus is an ancient performance space with 18 rows of stone seats arranged in a semicircle on a hillside around the central stage area. Its modest size makes it a smaller counterpart to the more famous Theatre of Epidaurus nearby.

The theatre was built in the 4th century BC and later faded from view, hidden beneath olive trees for centuries. Archaeologists discovered it and started restoration efforts in the 1970s to bring the ancient site back.

Over 1,000 inscriptions cover the seat rows, most pairing a name with a title or trade and often naming Dionysus, to whom the theatre was dedicated; locals funded the seating and were remembered in stone. Since 1998 the site has hosted theatre and concerts within the Athens and Epidaurus Festival.

The theatre lies about 500 m southeast of modern Palea Epidavros, at the western end of the Nisi peninsula's acropolis. It was buried under a 6.50 m layer of stone and clay until excavation from 1989, and since 1998 it has hosted performances and concerts of the Athens and Epidaurus Festival. The lower part of the stage building and the stage facade survive; the orchestra itself is unpaved ground.

Over 1,000 inscriptions cover the seat rows, which is why the theatre is nicknamed the "Talking Theatre". Most are one to four lines long and often give a name plus a title or profession, alongside the god Dionysus. The lowest row, reserved for the elite, is the only one with a backrest.
